Unlock the Potential of Your Immune System” (Simo Arredouani, PhD) [#135] Brad Power and Emily Kim March 19, 2025 Meeting Summary Your immune system is a formidable ally against cancer, yet it doesn’t always win the fight. You can increase your odds of beating your cancer by looking at the hidden intricacies of your immune system and personalizing cancer treatments using new technologies.

Simo Arredouani, PhD, Vice President of Immunology and Strategic Partnerships at Omniscope, is uniquely qualified to describe how new immune system diagnostic technologies can transform your cancer care. Omniscope has combined proprietary laboratory technology that can monitor your immune system and predict your treatment response, applying AI to the world's largest immune system database.

They look at protein complexes found on the surface of your white blood cells (T lymphocytes) that play a crucial role in your adaptive immune system, are specific to your cancer, and can be used to develop personalized therapies for you. Why would you want to be able to analyze your immune system?

●Predict your immune system response : Know if a treatment, especially an immunotherapy, will work before you start. ●Monitor treatment effectiveness : Track your progress in real-time and adjust your strategy as needed.

●Early detection: Catch any signs of disease progression – changes in your immune repertoire can help identify potential health issues before they become serious and move you from a reactive to a proactive approach to your health. ●Uncover hidden patterns : Understand how your immune system works and understand your immune system diversity.

●Deliver personalized care : Tailor therapies to your unique needs. ●Health monitoring : Understand the state and fitness of your immune system – provide insights into your overall health and potential vulnerabilities; determine treatment efficacy much faster than current methods, potentially saving $15,000 per month by stopping ineffective treatments earlier.

Use blood tests as a non-invasive alternative to tumor biopsies.

●Treatment personalization : Help predict your likelihood of responding to immunotherapies, potential adverse events, minimal residual disease (recurrence), and treatment efficacy – potentially saving you time, money, and unnecessary treatments ●Athletic performance : Help you understand your physical readiness and recovery needs from exercise.

●Research: Contribute to scientific understanding of immune system dynamics and individual variations. Contribute to personalized cancer vaccine and targeted cell therapy development, making “cold” tumors more responsive to immunotherapy. What are the latest advancements in immunotherapy response testing?

“Unlock the Potential of Your Immune System” (Simo Arredouani, PhD) [#135] ●Blood test advancements : Using blood draws instead of your tumor tissue enables less invasive monitoring of your cancer, which is particularly useful for hard-to-access tumors like brain metastases.

●High-resolution immune system analysis : Detailed sequencing of white blood cells (T cell and B cell receptors) and using AI and machine learning can identify response patterns and identify unique antigens for potential vaccine or cell therapy development.

●Early response and adverse event prediction : Identifying immune system (T cell receptor) signatures that correlate with immunotherapy response, potentially predicting response within 2-3 months of treatment start and helping you decide whether to continue or switch treatments; tracking your immune repertoire changes before and after treatment can identify potential side effects and adverse events early and personalize your treatment.

What are the key challenges in applying immune system analysis to rare cancer types with low mutational burden? ●Limited existing data : Rare cancers have fewer samples, which makes it harder to develop reliable AI models and predictive signatures.

●Slower treatment development : Creating targeted therapies like TCR-T cell treatments requires extensive validation and may take longer for rare cancer types for target antigen identification and validation. How can you access Omniscope's groundbreaking technology for your personal healthcare journey?

SPEAKERS Simo Arredouani (75%), Brad Power (9%), Nina Senna (7%), Richard Anders (3%), Rick Davis (2%), Cindy Ness (2%), Alane Watkins (1%), Sandra Balladares (1%) CHAT CONTRIBUTORS Alane Watkins, Nina Senna, Koryn DelPrince, Rick Davis, Helen, Sandra Balladares, David Plunkett SUMMARY Simo Arredouani, a cancer immunologist, discussed Omniscope's technology, which processes 1 million cells per sample, 100 times more than competitors.

This technology aids in diagnostics and therapeutics, including T cell and B cell therapies. It can detect minimal residual disease, autoimmune diseases, and viral infections. Arredouani highlighted a collaboration with FC Barcelona to track athletes' immune health. The technology can predict treatment responses, potentially saving time and money.

Omniscope's early access program for immune health assessments costs around $2,000-$5,000. The goal is to stratify patients and improve cancer treatment efficacy. OUTLINE Introductions, Simo Arredouani's Background, and Omniscope Overview ●Our purpose was to discuss cancer immunology with Simo Arredouani, a cancer immunologist and PhD in immunology from Harvard Medical School.

●Simo introduced himself and explained his background in cancer immunology and immunotherapy, including his work at Genius Bio and Tele Therapeutics. ●Simo introduced Omniscope, a tech-bio company based in Barcelona, and mentioned key team members like Vijay (CEO), Lynette (Chief Growth Officer), Holger (Scientist), and Matt (Chief Information Officer), and Nina.

●The immune system is important in fighting cancer, and T cells and B cells have a role in immunity. ●Omniscope's technology processes 100 times more cells than competitors, allowing for detailed analysis of TCR and BCR sequences.
